Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 260 Ambush from All Sides
Finding that the two girls were cheating, Ma Di calmly brought two big bowls.

"Papa" twice, and put it in front of them.

Then the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled secretly.

The second daughter looked over resentfully, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the wine fight.

This time, there is no way to secretly pour wine into the clothes again.

The bowl is too big, and if you cheat, the filling will be exposed. The sound intensity of pouring a glass of wine and pouring a bowl of wine is different.

The fight is still going on.

This time it's for real.

After a while, the winner was decided.

Lu Meng was the first to tilt her head and fell on the table, unconscious.

Lu Yusheng glanced over triumphantly, and was about to make a declaration of victory, when suddenly his body swayed twice, and he fell straight down.

……

Ma Su is an upright gentleman who never takes advantage of others' dangers.

His goal is to help the Shu Han pacify the world and enjoy the blessings of all people.

But never against the wishes of women.

So, he laid Lu Meng and Lu Yusheng side by side on the bed, and after covering them, he turned around resolutely and went to rest on the maid's bed separated only by a screen.

Of course, there is no maid on this bed, and the maid was dismissed by him from the very beginning.

Smelling the rich aroma of wine in the room and the other two tantalizing but completely different scents, Ma Su put his hands on his head, stared wide-eyed, not feeling sleepy.

He should be next door.

not here.

Thinking about it, he sighed, pushed the door out, went up to the roof, and thought about the situation he was facing now.

The first thing he has to face is the upcoming war, but he has already arranged this war clearly, and there is nothing wrong with it.

If Lu Dai still came to attack Guiping as planned, he believed that under the ambush from all sides, he would be defeated.

Therefore, the focus of Ma Di's thinking shifted to the next strategy.

Can it work from Jiaozhou to the north?
Throughout the 5000-year history, there are no such successful cases, and there are almost no cases of going north from Jiaozhou as a base.

Except for the Republic of China, wars in the era of hot weapons and steam engines are not reference.

In this era, it is very difficult to fight north from Jiaozhou.

There are three main difficulties.

First of all, Jiaozhou is too far away from the Central Plains, and there are Nanling (Nanling refers to the general name of a series of mountains between Yangzhou and Jiaozhou in Jingzhou, including but not limited to: Yuecheng Ridge, Dupang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge , Qitianling and Dayuling and other representative mountain ranges) are blocked, and the roads are not smooth.

The terrain going north from the Jiaozhou area is extremely complex and the roads are steep, which is not conducive to marching troops and logistical supplies.

The second is that the population is too small, the war potential is too low, and the combat effectiveness and willingness of soldiers are seriously insufficient.

Finally, the conditions in all aspects are far behind the Central Plains.

As we all know, a country is founded on money and soldiers. If there are only money and no soldiers, the country will become a fat sheep to be slaughtered; if there are only soldiers but no money, it is no different from the Yellow Turban Uprising.

In fact, both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had the idea of ​​"occupying Jiaozhou and using it as a base to attack Yizhou in the west and Jiangzuo in Beitu".But in the end, it was all over due to various difficulties.

Of course, when occupying Jiaozhou at the beginning (210), Sun Quan also had the idea of ​​sending troops from Jiaozhou to Yizhou. Later, due to various reasons such as the Wu-Shu alliance entered the honeymoon period, Liu Bei led the army into Sichuan, and Zhou Yu died of illness, Sun Quan temporarily gave up the attack. The idea of ​​Shu.

Especially after lending Nanjun, if you want to attack Shu, you can only enter from Jiaozhou, and the cost of attacking Shu from Jiaozhou is too high, so big that it is unbearable for Soochow.

The most important thing is that if Sun Quan really wants to attack Shu, there is a shorter and more convenient channel-take Jingzhou and go up the river.

Conversely, this road is also suitable for the Shu Han to attack Soochow, just go down the river, and there is no need to detour to Jiaozhou and then detour thousands of miles to attack Jiangdong.

Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms era, it was only when Jin destroyed Wu that a random group of people was sent to attack Jiaozhou led by Huo Ge to contain the troops of Soochow.In the remaining decades, even when the relationship between Shuhan and Soochow broke down and attacked each other, they never used Jiaozhou as a place to use their troops.

But Ma Di wanted to do the opposite, and chose Jiaozhou, the place where Sun Quan's control was weakest.

Although Jiaozhou is poor and backward compared to the Central Plains, and the travel distance is far away, it is extremely inconvenient.But this does not mean that Jiaozhou has no strategic value.

At the beginning, the gap between Jiaozhou and the Central Plains was not that big, and it was also very important for the strategic value of the Jiangnan region.

However, since the Qiang Rebellion that lasted for a hundred years broke out a hundred years ago, the Eastern Han court has been busy all year round to solve the chaos in the northwest, and has been unable to strengthen the rule of Jiaozhou and maintain the evolution of Jiaozhou.Therefore, Jiaozhou's economy, culture, construction, transportation and other aspects have stagnated, and it will soon lose touch with the Central Plains, thus losing its strategic value in competing for the world.

Although Shi Xie once ruled Jiaozhou for more than [-] years, he never dared to expand a step outside. Shi Xie is self-aware. He knows that it is difficult to protect himself with the strength of Jiaozhou. Don't mention competing for supremacy in the world.

In addition, Shi Xie is a ruler who likes writing but not martial arts. During the decades of controlling Jiaozhou, he only improved and changed the backward cultural level of Jiaozhou, but did not significantly improve the comprehensive competitiveness of Jiaozhou.

According to the census in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (140), the population of Jiaozhou, which had not experienced major wars for two or three hundred years, was only about 300 million.Considering the vast area of ​​Jiaozhou, the population is too sparse and scattered.

In a region with such low economic strength and population strength, it is difficult to support large-scale military operations.Even if the local area is won, it is difficult to maintain the daily expenses of the army with the local logistics force, and can only rely on the finances of the central area of ​​the country for remote support. This will consume too much national power and financial resources. deterred.

Later, when the Three Kingdoms came together and the world was divided up, Soochow then set its sights on Jiaozhou, which no one cares about, and relying on a well-developed navy, after several years of preparation, it successfully took control of Jiaozhou in name.

Zhuge Liang once made Jiaozhou one of the strategic goals in "Longzhong Dui": "Jingzhou occupies Han and Mian in the north, benefits the South China Sea, connects Wuhui in the east, and connects Bashu in the west."

Taking advantage of the South China Sea means that after the separatist rule of Jingzhou, it will take over Jiaozhou in the south, lead directly to the South China Sea, and control the Pearl River Basin.But Zhuge Liang's plan won't work after he gets Nanjun.

Because Liu Bei only occupied a few counties in Jingzhou at that time, he was unable to send a large number of expeditionary troops to attack Jiaozhou, and with fewer troops, he could not control the vast Jiaozhou.

When Sun Quan lent Nanjun to Liu Bei, he ordered Buzhi to enter Jiaozhou, occupying half of the land in the east of Jiaozhou, and divided Guangzhou from Jiaozhou, and the state government was established in Panyu County, Nanhai County.

In fact, if the world hadn't been divided up and the Soochow navy was more developed, Sun Quan probably wouldn't want to control Jiaozhou.

This is also one of the two main reasons why Liu Bei would rather compete with Liu Zhang for Yizhou after occupying Jingzhou than go south to occupy the unowned Jiaozhou (the other reason is that Sun Quan is interested in Jiaozhou).

Now, Ma Di is also interested in Jiaozhou.

Unlike Sun Quan who only used Jiaozhou as his back garden, only growing vegetables and collecting taxes, Ma Di wanted to use Jiaozhou as a strategic base and springboard to attack Soochow, or in other words, turn Jiaozhou into the main battlefield to restrain Soochow's energy.

Single-handedly attacking Jiaozhou is also an excellent method that Ma Su has thought up to break the delicate balance of the three-legged confrontation—that is, to turn the Three Kingdoms into Four Kingdoms or even more countries, and let each country fall into a chaotic mode. world.

The night passed quickly.

When the eastern sky turned white, Ma Di collected his thoughts, jumped off the roof, and found a random room to catch up on sleep.

When Lu Yusheng woke up, it was already mid-morning, the discomfort of hangover still remained in his head, and he looked a little numb.

But when she saw that she was sleeping on that rough eunuch's bed and she was the only one in the room, she covered her face and sobbed sadly.

Although nothing happened last night, to her, it actually happened.

If she doesn't marry that rough and unsightly prefect in the shortest possible time, her reputation will be wiped out.

Lu Meng pushed the door in from the outside, silently looking at Lu Yusheng, who was pear blossoms and raining, and wanted to comfort her, but felt that she was the one who needed comfort most, so she put down a brand-new set of red wedding dress and phoenix crown, and stood silently at the aside.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Di opened the door and walked in, stood three steps away, looked at Lu Yusheng who was lying on the bed and buried his head in tears with a smile, and said warmly:

"Miss San, no one wants this kind of thing to happen..."

No, you want to!

You rotten man!

Lu Yusheng cried even more sadly.

Ma Di continued to persuade: "Actually, as the head of a county, I am completely worthy of you..."

Not worthy, not worthy!
You are so ugly.

I don't want to marry you! ... Lu Yusheng cried out in his heart, twitched his shoulders, and cried even louder.

Ma Di spread his hands to Lu Meng: "Madam, please persuade her, don't let her think about committing suicide, after all, she is still so young, and she will have a long life in the future."

From Lu Yusheng's ears, the last sentence implied that "there will be long days of suffering in the future."

So, he twitched twice, and passed out from crying.

Lite ten years, March.

Although the season is still early spring, the scorching heat has ravaged the land of Jiaozhou early on. The entire Guiping City is shrouded in the scorching sun, and the ground of the city wall has a burnt smell.

Following the sound of orderly footsteps from far to near, three thousand Wu troops, led by Lu Dai, appeared in Ma Di's sight and walked slowly towards the south gate of Guiping City.

Looking from a distance, the Wu army is divided into three teams. The front team is the pikemen, and the rows of longspears are raised forward. The soldiers move forward in a steady and uniform pace. , ho ho!"

The momentum is majestic and sweeping.

Ma Di didn't wait for Wu Jun to force him to the city, he waved his hand, led [-] warriors out of the city, and charged forward.

At this time, it's useless to talk too much, only the underlings can see the truth.

On the top of the city tower, the horns urged the battle, and the banners were fluttering; below the city, Ma Di rushed into the Wu army's formation first, and swept across the area with his long knife.

Amidst the shouts of killing, the three thousand Wu troops and the eight hundred Lu family troops fought hand-to-hand, fighting to the death.

Two torrents of soldiers collided head-on and melted each other.

Wu Jun's army is well-organized, well-equipped, and well-equipped; the Lu family's army is fierce and brave, and its momentum is like a rainbow.

The scene was indistinguishable for a moment.

And seeing Ma Di's incomparably brave demeanor, Lu Dai and the three prefects looked at each other, secretly startled.

In the wild land of Jiaozhou, there is such a fierce general?

Is this reasonable?

In the position of the central army, Lu Dai looked very dignified. After watching for a long time, he suddenly said: "My lords, looking at this man's demeanor, he seems to have the courage of Sun Bofu in the past. Our soldiers are invincible. What can we do?!"

Hearing this, the three prefects remained silent.

The opponent's main general was so capable of fighting, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

Originally, the opponent did not have this general, so the battle loss ratio between the Wu army and the rebel army was one to two, or even one to three.

But thanks to the bravery of the opponent's main general, the battle losses of both sides were abruptly evened out.

This person's performance further verified that sentence,

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

Chen Shi suddenly pointed at the front of the formation and said anxiously: "Grand Lu, look quickly!"

I saw Ma Di took the lead, leading forty or fifty soldiers, and went straight to kill. His murderous aura pierced the sky, and he went straight to the position of the central army to kill.

Judging from the situation, it seems that he intends to cut through Wu Jun's formation and kill Lu Dai and the three prefects.

At this time, he had already killed a hundred steps away, and was sweeping away the Wu army blocking him layer by layer.

As the saying goes, soldiers are the courage of the generals, and they will be the soul of the army. Ma Di was so brave, and the morale of his subordinates suddenly boosted.

Seeing this, Lu Dai's complexion changed, and he couldn't help cursing angrily: "This man is so rampant, if this old man is 30 years younger, I must let you taste the power of this old man!"

While speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing from the left flank.

Lu Dai turned his head to look, and saw a group of densely packed enemy troops rushing over quickly, and was immediately taken aback: "No, it's a trick!"

Before the words fell, there was also a loud shout from the right.

An enemy army of about a thousand people poured out from nowhere, screaming and killing them.

This is not over yet, there is also a shout from Wu Jun's tail.

An enemy army of about 200 people came from behind.

At the same time, an enemy army of about 500 people, under the command of a heroic female general, rushed out of the oblique stab and approached the Wu army at a very high speed.

The five-way army came from five directions.

Lu Dai and the three eunuchs looked at each other, and the alarm bells rang in their hearts.

Today, I am afraid it will be difficult to be kind.

After a while, the five soldiers and horses finally rushed to the front, entering the formation from the flanks and rear wings.

Under this five-way attack, the Wu army was in chaos, and the soldiers were panicked.

This is the first time they have encountered such a scene of enemy troops everywhere.

All the Wu soldiers were in a panic. While being forced to fight, they looked in the direction of the Chinese army, and their morale was visibly declining.

A big defeat looked inevitable.

Lu Dai and the three eunuchs looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and squeezed out two words: "Break out!"

Chen Shi hurriedly shouted loudly: "Break out, the whole army break out!"

Upstairs in Guiping City, He Hong had a panoramic view of this scene, hesitated for a moment, drew out his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to fight, and help the prefect!"

He figured it out, at this moment, helping Lu Dai is tantamount to seeking his own death, because the situation of victory and defeat is already obvious.

Since you can't stand against Lu Dai, then you have to be tougher on Lu Dai, gain military exploits, use this to save your family, and become a noble and a marquis.

……

Hanzhong, Nanzheng, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in thick clothes, was writing hard in front of the desk. From time to time, he stretched out his arms and warmed them on the stove, hoping that his numb hands would be slightly warmer and his writing would be smoother.

"The first emperor was deeply concerned that the Han and the thieves could not stand side by side, and that the king's career was not partial, so he entrusted his ministers to fight against the thieves. With the wisdom of the late emperor, he measured the talents of his ministers, so he knew that when he defeated the thieves, he was weak and the enemy was strong. If he did not attack the thieves, The king's industry is also dead; if he just sits and waits for death, who will kill him? That's why he entrusts his ministers without doubting..."

While writing, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then a middle-aged scribe in a cloak and a scarf walked into the room.He looked at Zhuge Liang who was still immersed in writing, cupped his hands, and said carefully: "Prime Minister, there is information about Jiaozhou."

Only then did Zhuge Liang come back to his senses, put down the brush and looked up.

"Oh? Duke Wei, tell me quickly!"

"According to information, two months ago, there was turmoil in Jiaozhou. Shi San, the son of Shi Xie, captured Yulin, got the help of Lu Kai from the Lu family, and wiped out [-] soldiers and horses from Lu Dai, the governor of Jiaozhou who had been reinforced; half a month ago, The two sides fought again under the city of Yulin, Lu Dai was wiped out again, and Lu Dai, Dai Liang, Xue Zong, and Chen Shi were all captured alive."

"How is the battle going now?" Zhuge Liang deliberately suppressed his inner joy and asked with great interest.

"According to reliable information, Sun Quan has ordered Ding Feng and other four generals to lead [-] troops to Jiaozhou to suppress the rebellion. However, the journey is far away, and it will take more than a month to reach Jiaozhou."

With that said, Yang Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and asked hesitantly:
"Prime Minister, is this third scholar Ma Di?"

"I don't know." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

Yang Yi said "Oh", and said with regret on her face: "It's a pity, no matter how chaotic Jiaozhou is, it's not something I, the Shu Han, can get my hands on."

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, his expression enigmatic.

Yang Yi realized that there was nothing to ask here, so she left information and resigned.

"By the way..." After taking two steps, Yang Yi suddenly remembered something again, "Sun Quan has ordered Zhuge Jin to station in Jiangling, in the name of helping Lu Xun, but in fact it is monitoring and decentralizing power."

"Prime Minister, do you want to revise a book to plot against Lu Xun?"

Lu Xun, how could he be so easy to instigate rebellion!

Zhuge Liang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Duke Wei, you go now, let me think twice about this matter."

Yang Yi pushed the door and left.

After Zhuge Liang waited for him to leave, he sat back at the table again, spread out the brocade silk, held it down with a long ruler, took a breath at the tip of the writing brush, and continued to write: "It's hard to get over it, it's just..."

At this point, Zhuge Liang suddenly stopped writing, feeling that this "Second Form of Teacher", which has been in his heart for several years, seems a bit too pessimistic and sad, and it is not suitable to describe Ji Han who is now powerful.

After thinking about it, he put down the brush, took a look at the brocade silk in his hand, and threw away the brazier.

Then, looking at the open fire that suddenly erupted in the brazier, he was dazed.
